When Xiaowan received the news at home, Ling Chaofeng had still not returned home, and did not know where the Little Demon Empress was. She was very nervous, and worried that he would not be able to take care of him.

The Aunt Zhang disagreed and said: "They also have two eyes and one mouth, could it be that they have three heads and six arms? Just treat them as ordinary guests, and those who have stayed in the Imperial City for a long time would love to come to the commoners to live a dull life. They would not be willing if you treated them seriously. "

The next day, he went to the town and bought two sets of pork ribs, stir-fried the coarse salt of pepper, and all sorts of spices. He finished them all and hung them under the eaves, calculating the time when the Empress arrived.

At this time, it was already February. The trees at the back of the inn began to sprout. A hint of green was enough to make one look forward to the prosperity of life.

When Xiaowan was washing clothes at the back door, she could look out at the back of the mountain. She could always remember last year when Ling Chaofeng had picked her up and they went to the mountain to dig up wild vegetables together. One love after another was still vivid in her mind. And now, her stomach was bulging slightly, about to give birth to a baby for his beloved man.

She got up to shake off her clean clothes, and hung them one by one on the clothesline. Little Pei brought over the large meat buns that Uncle Biao had just steamed, and ate one for his mother.

After eating, the Xiaowan finished her work. The two of them entered the door together and saw a few people walking in from the front.

Xiaowan thought it was a guest coming to eat or to stay at a restaurant. He put down the wooden basin and was about to receive them, when suddenly those people took out axes from behind his back. One of them even stabbed them heavily into the table beside them.

shouted in fear. Uncle Biao rushed over from the back door, blocking the view of a room full of girls and children. He shouted loudly, "Where did this bastard come from?

The person that came over asked: Is this Ling Chaofeng's home?

Uncle Biao asked: "Why ask when you already know the answer? What exactly do you want to do?"

"Humph!" The person in the lead sneered and shouted as he smashed the table. A few people brandished their axes and cleaved apart the tables and chairs.

Uncle Biao did not attack them, and did not stop them either. Other than him, the rest of the men were women and children, and the Xiaowan was carrying one of them in her stomach. Protecting them right now was much more important than taking care of these beasts.

Those people didn't seem to want to hurt anyone. They were vindictive and vindictive, smashing the shop into pieces. Just as they were about to rush to the second floor, another group of people entered the restaurant. This time, it was really the emperor with his empress.

When the royal experts saw this, they all rushed forward and knocked down the few muscular men in a few steps. They were shouting so loudly that their mouths were gagged shut.

Only then did the emperor allow his wife to enter the door. Siyan jumped over the mess and ran to the Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, are you alright?"

"Empress …" Xiaowan's heart relaxed, after all, a pregnant person was weak, after being shocked she could not hold on any longer, so everyone quickly sent her upstairs.

When the empress was able to make it in time, allowing the Ling Xiao Inn to escape, she had also conveniently interrogated those few people. However, they loudly shouted that they had nothing to fear, saying that if anything happened to them, Ling Chaofeng would definitely die.

When Xiaowan heard these words, she was extremely shocked. She did not care about obstructing them as she rushed down and asked them who exactly they were.

When the people around the emperor heard their accents, they guessed a few points and then asked again. Only then did someone say everything out of fear.

Never would they have thought that Ling Chaofeng would bring his men to the deep mountains to search for good wood, but he was treated as an intruder by the locals.

He did not know why the angry villagers not only imprisoned Ling Chaofeng and the others, they had also come all the way here to destroy their Ling Xiao Inn and vent their anger.

The Emperor did not reveal his identity to those people and instead ordered people to guard them before sending people to the mountain to search for someone. He planned to wait here for news before leaving with the Empress.

The Xiaowan only wanted to follow along. Siyan knew what she was thinking and advised, "You will only be more worried once you go to the Manager Ling. Don't worry, if the Manager Ling doesn't return safely, I won't leave. In a few more days, my brother will arrive. At worst, I'll just ask him to go to Manager Ling. "

"Many thanks, Empress." Although Xiaowan thanked the empress, she couldn't be at ease no matter what. However, she didn't even know which mountain her husband was in, even if she wanted to, there was nowhere for her to go.

The only thing he could do was wait at home.

That night at dinner, Uncle Biao stewed the dried chili peppers and beans onto his salted pork ribs, which had been dried by him for several days. The inn was overflowing with fragrance, and the emperor was indeed tempted to eat.

On the other side, First Princess and Shen Qing were sitting at the same table. Shen Qing watched his sister-in-law eat the ribs with her hands while she elegantly tore off some meat with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

People who were used to eating rare and precious seafood would have thought that the delicious taste of pork ribs would make her eyes light up. She wanted to learn from her sister-in-law and start eating directly, but she couldn't do it.

Everyone was eating heartily, and only the Xiaowan was sitting at a table at the side with no appetite at all.

Aunt Zhang whispered into her ear: "The wind has been blowing in the past, and people can walk in the martial arts world, how can they not experience wind and waves, tonight, don't be afraid."

Even if she said she wasn't afraid, it would just be to coax her. Xiaowan was extremely afraid, her only thought right now was to go to her husband's side.

If she didn't see her husband with her own eyes, all other promises and guarantees wouldn't work, but there was nothing she could do but wait.

They seemed to not be worried about Ling Chaofeng's safety at all. The originally entertaining attitude in Xiaowan's heart towards the guests had unavoidably decreased by half.

However, this couldn't be blamed on the emperor and the Empress. If they hadn't arrived in time, who knew what the house would have been like?

Little Pei said to his mother in a soft voice, "Mother, this is not the first time our shop has been smashed. My father is so calm."

Xiaowan scolded him, "This is not a good thing to be proud of, foolish child."

After that, a few days, the empress settled down in the tavern leisurely, while the First Princess and the Princess gradually got familiar with the people in the shop. The First Princess even brought Little Pei out to fly a kite and wandered around the town together.

The Xiaowan even saw Bi Zhenye at the tavern. She had specially come to pay her respects to the Aunt Zhang, so the emperor told him that since she was already here, there was no need to leave.

As such, when Princess followed his sister-in-law and Little Pei back from town, and saw Bi Zhenye standing in the great hall, she was stunned.

First Princess glanced at his cousin, picked up the fat Little Pei and said: "Come, let's go see your mother."

Unfortunately, these two young people, despite having intentions in their hearts, still maintained their identities. No matter what, they could not take a step closer to each other. After a few simple words of greeting, they separated.

In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. After some time, Wei Tengfei quickly brought Hanxi to the Baisha River on the boat, but there was no news of the person the Emperor had sent to find Ling Chaofeng.

One day, someone finally came back and laid on the ground to tell the Emperor that he had been waiting outside for news to send to the Emperor, but when no news came, he realized that none of the people who had gone in had come out. There was a high probability that something had happened.

He did not dare to go alone, so he came back first, begging for the Emperor's permission.

Xiaowan stood on top of the building and heard everything clearly. She turned around to pack, while Little Pei stood at the side obediently without stopping.

However, he was curious as to why the situation in the mountains was completely different from the information the Emperor had gathered.

On the day he was smashed to death in the inn, he flew to look for his father. His father was in the mountains, eating meat and drinking wine in huge bowls. Could it be that his eyes were playing tricks on him?

"Little Pei, be good and stay at home. Mom will go find Daddy and she'll be back soon." Xiaowan tidied up her salute, picked Little Pei up and placed him on the table, "You have to be obedient, don't run out by yourself, your grandma and the others won't be able to find you, you should be worried."

Ling Pei nodded: "Mother, I will listen."

With that, Xiaowan brought her luggage downstairs and just happened to arrive at Ling Xiao Inn with Hanxi. They entered the house in a travel-worn state and saw that Xiaowan was about to leave with her backpack.

The empress looked at her husband as if she wanted to say something to him. Since they were all in the same boat, the emperor said, "Since they are all so orderly, why don't we all go together? It looks like none of you can rest in peace if we don't go together."

When the Xiaowan heard that everyone was going to look for him, she was naturally grateful. However, she then saw the Emperor pointing at the Princess, Bi Zhenye and the others, saying, "You guys stay here, wait for our news, then directly leave. We'll meet up halfway."

Shen Qing was startled, but Bi Zhenye accepted the order calmly. Two hours later, the entire shop was emptied.

The empress brought Xiaowan away. Before General Wei even sat down to drink a cup of tea, she brought Hanxi along with her. The First Princess didn't even ask anyone and followed along herself.

Before First Princess left, he said to his sister-in-law with a smile, "Keep an eye on the shop for Xiaowan. Don't do the loser business."

At this time, Shen Qing was standing alone in the shop, staring blankly into space. Little Pei pulled her hand and said: "Are you going to pick some wild vegetables?"

After Bi Zhenye sent the empress dowager off to the door, Little Pei asked him: "Uncle, we're going to pick some wild vegetables, are you going?"
